The kidney is vital in maintaining fluid, electrolyte, and acid-base balance. Kidney-related diseases, which are an increasing public health issue, can happen to people of any age and at any time. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are endogenous RNA that are produced by selective RNA splicing and are involved in progression of various diseases. Studies have shown that various kidney diseases, including renal cell carcinoma, acute kidney injury, and chronic kidney disease, are linked to circRNAs. This review outlines the characteristics and biological functions of circRNAs and discusses specific studies that provide insights into the function and potential of circRNAs for application in the diagnosis and treatment of kidney-related diseases.

Background: Highly specific ATN plasma biomarker assays for neurodegenerative diseases have been developed, but their associations with cognition vary in different populations. Kidney disease, common in diabetes, may decrease the predictive precision of those biomarkers. The aim of this study was to characterize for the first time the relationships between plasma ATN biomarkers and cognitive function in adults with T1D.

Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a cluster of interrelated risk factors, including insulin resistance, hypertension, dyslipidemia, and visceral adiposity, all of which contribute to kidney microvascular injury and the progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD). However, the specific impact of each component of MetS on kidney microcirculation remains unclear. Given the increasing prevalence of obesity, understanding how visceral fat-particularly fat surrounding the kidneys-affects kidney microcirculation is critical.

Rationale & Objective: Afamin is a vitamin E-binding glycoprotein primarily expressed in liver and kidney. This study investigated whether serum afamin concentrations are associated with kidney function and incident kidney failure.
Study Design: Prospective cohort study with 6.

Background: Identifying gender and age-related eGFR trends is crucial for precise renal function assessment. This study aims to analyse eGFR distribution with the full age spectrum (FAS) equation and establish reference intervals based on gender and age in a single-centre cohort.
Methods: Following the inclusion and exclusion criteria outlined in this study, a total of 24,024 reference individuals were ultimately selected.
